Digital Currency Group, une société de capital-risque spécialisée dans le secteur des actifs numériques, cherche à rejeter une action en justice intentée par un important échange cryptographique fondé par Tylor et Cameron Winklevoss Gemini, l'appelant une campagne de relations publiques au nom de la plateforme de trading. D'autre part, Gemini a accusé la société de capital-risque de fraude en relation avec son programme Earn. 

Selon un document soumis to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 10, the lawyers representing the Digital Currency Group and its CEO, Barry Silbert, stated that the lawsuit filed in July by crypto exchange Gemini was a “continuation of [a] public relations campaign” targeting the VC firm on social media platforms via “personal, vicious, and false” claims.

Additionally, the filing by Digital Currency Group also noted the fact that Gemini seeks to recover the funds it lost due to “DCG and Silbert’s false, misleading, and incomplete representations and omissions to Gemini” and their role “in encouraging and facilitating Genesis’s fraud against Gemini.”

It is important to mention here that Gemini and Genesis, a subsidiary of the Digital Currency Group, together debuted the Gemini Earn program, where users of the crypto exchange were promised returns if they deposited their funds with Genesis. Interestingly, the DCG subsidiary decided to halt withdrawals in November 2022 due to “unprecedented market turmoil” following the multi-billion dollar collapse of crypto firm FTX. In January 2023, Genesis a déposé son bilan. 

As per the lawyers, the Digital Currency Group and Silbert “had virtually nothing to do with the Gemini Earn program.” Moreover, they also claim that Gemini does not have substantial proof to back up its fraud claims. 

“[T]he Complaint is a hodgepodge of conclusory allegations against non-defendant Genesis, all belied by the fact that Gemini has not filed these spectacular claims in the Genesis bankruptcy,” said the filing.

D'autre part, l'échange de crypto Gemini est également confronté à une pénurie de capitaux et récemment a reçu un prêt personnel de $100 millions de ses co-fondateurs, les jumeaux Winklevoss.
